So the greatest common factor 172,133,726 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 474,530,503
2 | 474, 530, 503 |
237, 265, 503 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 237 x 265 x 503 = 63181830
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/63181830
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 172/474,133/530,726/503 is 1/63181830
The formula of LCM is LCM(a1,a2,a3....,an) = ( a1 × a2 × a3 × .... × an) / GCF(a1,a2,a3....,an) x common factors(if more than 2 numbers have common factors).
We need to calculate greatest common factor of 474,530,503 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(474,530,503) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 2
GCF(474,530,503) x common factors =1 x 2 = 2
LCM(474,530,503) = ( 474 × 530 × 503 ) / 2
LCM(474,530,503) = 126363660 / 2
LCM(474,530,503) = 63181830
